Hello all, thanks for taking a look at this post! So, my web-server is running Apache-2.4.27 and I currently have a working .htaccess file, restricting access to my DocumentRoot from a long list of international IP ranges (for the sake of this post I have reduced it down to one IP range from Cambodia). It is using the Apache-2.2 access control directives as such...
Code: |
<Files *>
order deny,allow
# Cambodia (KH)
deny from 114.134.184.0/21
</Files>
<Files .htaccess>
deny from all
</Files>
|
This works, but as I am running Apache-2.4.27 I would like my .htaccess to use the new Require directives available as of Apache-2.3, but when I apply these new directives like so...
Code: |
<Files *>
order deny,allow
# Cambodia (KH)
Require 114.134.184.0/21 denied
</Files>
<Files .htaccess>
Require not all
</Files>
|
and restart Apache, the web-page results in an "Internal Server Error". /var/log/apache2/error.log reports...
Code: |
[Sun Feb 18 12:41:12.420006 2018] [core:alert] [pid 31287] [client 192.168.11.20:12384] /var/www/html/.htaccess: Unknown Authz provider: 114.134.184.0/21
[Sun Feb 18 12:41:12.527052 2018] [core:alert] [pid 31288] [client 192.168.11.20:12383] /var/www/html/.htaccess: Unknown Authz provider: 114.134.184.0/21, referer: http://192.168.11.2/

Any help upgrading my .htaccess file to the Apache-2.4 standards would be greatly appreciated!!! |

We do not use order,allow,deny,satify in 2.4. Yes mod_access_compat allows us to use them, but mixing the old and new typically (always in my case when I tried long ago) causes strange behavior. Not using old style also means one less module needs to be loaded.
In 2.4 the default is <RequireAny> (Satisfy Any in 2.2) but it can be changed with <RequireAll> and <RequireNone> containers.
So:
Code: | <Files *>
<RequireAll>
Require all granted
Require not ip 114.134.184.0/21
</RequireAll>
</Files>
<Files .htaccess>
Require all denied
</Files>

see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_core.html#require |
